WOAC goes Skiing!

Skiing enthusiast, Esther Bickell, warns you that what you are about to see may entice your sense of adventure!

Marshall can attest to that.

Sydney Smith is also quite thrilled to shred some fresh pow.

Tori Koterba takes in the view as she gets ready to carve up a challenging slope.

As you can tell, the scenery is simply breathtaking, it's almost worth it just to ride the lifts up to take in this gorgeous skyline.

Marshall and Tori enjoy a leisurely ride to the top of Sugar mountain.

On the way up, one has the oppurtunity to watch fellow skiers and snowboarders race past below. Thrilling!

After conquering the bunny slopes, Nate Bourdeau and Marshall patiently wait for the lift to more extreme slopes.

The weather couldn't have been any better; sunny and a brisk 55 degrees at the base.

With our skis dangling 25 feet in the air, the ride to the top is thrilling in itself.

As the day progressed the crowds waned, but WOAC adventurers were still hungry for more.

After a short dinner break and a chance for the slopes to be groomed, WOAC prepared themselves for the second part of their adventure, night skiing!

This trip was the flagship of WOAC's 2008-09 planned adventures. After being met with such success, it's safe to say that we will be returning to Sugar Mountain in the future.
